JULIUS M. RHETT, Chairman.
The following is tho call of General QUATTLE
BACM and tho letter of airs. SMITH, referred to :
THE CONFEDERATE DEAD NE.UL AVEItYSBORO', NORTH
CAROLINA.
Mr. Editor: Sevoral months ago I made known
to you and tho numerous readers of tho NEWS a
proposition of Mrs. Smith, and other lad'es of
North Carolina, to have all tho Confederates who fell
in battlo near Averysbo-o'and still lay buried where
they fell, taken up and rointcrrcd in ono common
cemetery, to bc properly enclosed, and t ion havoa
suitable monument erected to their memory. This
generous, patriotic ladv offered to donate not only
thc ground, but to render all the assistance in her
power to carry out this laudablo object, and asked
tho aid and "co-operation of the ladies of South
Carolina, as well os thc relatives and friends of thc
deceased generally. As these troops were mostly
from Charleston," where they had. for full fom
years, stood more invincible" than walls of stone
among the bravest of its bravo defenders, never
for a moment faltering, even under the terrible
shower of iron hail to which thov were exposed
from tho opening tire on Fort Sumter to thc pain
fid evacuation of thc city, presenting themselves
at all tunes as barriers" between the innocent
inmate? within and thoir inveterate enemies
without, until the order came from a quarter which
they, as soldiers, ?ero bound to obey, and thus,
for tho first time, turning then- backs upon their
homos and tho many loved ones leftbohiud, !o still
clo battle for them in distant fields-I repent it, as
theso were tho troops who scaled with their life's
blood thoir unswerving dcvo; ion to a cause in
which Charleston fully sympathized, from tho
rising of it< morning star to thc going down there?
of-I did hope that thc reasonable request of tho
fair daughters ol'the Old North State-to do just,
ileserving and Incoming homage to these noble
martyrs-would receive a reaiK and willing re?
sponse from their more Southern" sisters. Xor can
I believe otherwise than that, when the lidies and
citizens of Charleston learn, from tao subjoined
letter of Mrs. Smith, that the good people of
North Carolina have performed Ihofirst and most
disagreeable part ol this verv commendable work
-that of collecting together {he dead bodies-and
now only want a few hundred dollars to complete
tho enclosure and monument, they, too, will readi?
ly contribute their part. It only requires some
organized plan, with generous, patriotic ladies of
Charleston at its head, to make this matter suc?
ceed.
Yon may do much to aid the schomo through
the instrumentality of your paper, and bv a little
private advice. For tho credit of the State; for
what is due lo tho peoplo of a sister t?tato, who
have so kindly initiated tho matter; for what is
due to the honor of thc honored dead, lot me in
%-ol;e you. Mr. Editor, to urge on this work, so
well begun, until thc last, rema ns o? these late,
long defenders of your city shall be properly en?
closed with an iron fence, and an appropriate
monument shall be erected to mark their last
n.-sting-pl.-iee, and thus hand down their docds to
tho re.uolcst-postority. l?ecauao they foll in a
f:illen cause, their memory is none the less worthy
of the homage of their country.
In furtherance of these views, please publish the
following letter from Mrs. Smith, at whoso house,
a few miles from Avcrysboro', the battle in
which these mon fell, w?s fought, on the 16th
March, 1805. Tho most of the slain were of tho
two South Carolina Rogimonta of Regulars and
Lucas' Battalion of Charleston-three only fr m
Georgia:

i thor lasts so short a time. I havo had several
letters on tho subject, and they all concur with me
in this idea, It will cost moro, of course, but it
will be complete.
We have an Association formed now. Mayor
McLean, of Fayetteville, is om' Treasurer. Chan?
cellor Lcsesne, of Charleston, has made us a dona?
tion of $50. and lie will receive for us any sum that
mav be donatod.
There aro threo Georgians, all the rest are South
Carolinians ; and, as we have moved them, we
have no doubt but South Carolina will complete it
if she knew of it, and Georgia, I have no doubt,
would do her part. Wc have placed fifty-eight bodies
ju the cemetery. I will bo very glad if you would
aid us with your injiuence, and in any way von
may feel disposed. I am very desirous" that this
matter should be generally taken hold of, and I
think it is obliged to succeed. Our neighborhood
havo done what they felt able to d~. and have done
it cheerfully. I can assuro you it is a very great
relief to my"mind to know that tho graves of our
noble martyrs aro no longer scattered over the
land, unknown and uncared for ; and I behove there
is still genuine patriotism enough left to secure to
us tho completion of this work. We have had
them removed for ten miles around.
Please have this published in your papers, and
do what you can for us. Let mo hear from vou
soon on the subject. Yours,
Mis. J. C. SMITH,
Fayetteville, N. C.
WHISKEY FRAUDS.-The frauds discovered by tho
Investigating Committee, in New Yrork and Brook?
lyn, are said to bo as wide-spread as startling.
There has been a universal swindle going on, from
the start, in which Government agents ?ro do.tplv
implicated. The excuso is, the "difHcultv of find?
ing honest men" as Inspectors ! Thero is nothing
singular in this fact. Fraud and corruption were
boru of the war,-in which cotton-steahng was le?
galized by men high in offico, and the contagion
Gas spread to its present magnitude by forco of ex?
ample. "Mr. John Devlin-ono of tho parties con?
nected with Messrs. Titton and Lovan, now on ex?
amination before United States Commissioner New?
ton, at Brooklyn, N. Y., on tho chargo of defrauding
tho Government by branding whiskey whore no li?
cense had heon paid-was on Thursday arrested
an a civil process, at the instance of the United
States District Attornoy, to recover the sum of
P400.000, as fines and penalties incurred bv violat?
ing tho Internal Revenue laws. Devlin was "brought
before the Conrt, and held to answer bi default of
??200,000 bail."-JVew Haven Register.
A $50,000 libel suit is thrust disagreeably into
tho Chicago Tribuuo's face. The paper itscb? is a

Seasonable Suggestions.
Winter, in this climate, is a trying season. Its un.
iteady temperature greatly aggravates dyspepsia, and
lots very unfavorably upon that sensitive organ, the
iver. The alternation of frost and thaw keeps the pores
>f tho body continually opening and contracting, and tho
-csult is a condition of the system favorable to thc action
>f the atmospheric virus which produces intermittent fe*
rem. Hence a PROTECTIVE MEDICXXE Uko HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS is especially needed in the winter
nonths. The effect of this great COKSTITOTIOHAX, INVIQ
H?AXT, in renderring even tho feeblest frame impervious
0 all malarious Influences, is a grand fact demonstrated
>y the uniform experience of a quarter of a century. As
1 stomachic, an anti-bilious medicino, and, a preventivo
md euro of Fever and Ague, lt is tho OSE THING NEED?
OO!, which none who value the preservation of health
an afford to do without '
THE SICK, WHEN AT DEATH'S DOOR,
-egret that they did not take tho ri/jhl antidote at the
.iglU time. Thousands who aro now suffering from the
?arly twinges of liver complaint and dyspepsia, will be
irostrato on pick bods a month hence, if they do not ar
est tho mischief at once. Nothing is moro easy. A
lourso of the purest and best vegetable tonio and alte
ative known in modem pharmacy-HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS-will restore the digestive organs
o their full vigor, and bring the disordered liver into a
audition of perfect health, os certainly as sunshine dis?
ipa tes thc morning vapors. Fever and Ague, too, is at
ince broken up by this powerful antidoto to all miasma
ie diseases. Strengthen the system with the Bitters, and
rou may defy all tho complaints which. prevail at this in

A FEW WORDS OF COMMON

How few there aro who are not subject to some affection
of tho lungs or respiratory organs, who, by neglecting
premonitory symptoms, aggravate tho complaint, until
disease strikes its shafts, causing inexpressible torturr
of thc patient, and anxiety and distress to friends. "Only
a cold!" "A slight sore throat!" is the he-jllcss remar'
of many when so affected. Y*?s ; "Only t cold," was the
thoughtless expression of thousands whom Death has
marked for his prey.
Forewarned-Forearmed ! should be thc motto forcvei
in the minds of all subject to Conghs, Colds, Catarrh, ox
Influenza. Words of advice should be heeded by all sni
fering from Asthma, Bronchitis, Consumption. Relief is
within their reach; and, if neglected, fatal consequence
ensue-a lifo of misery-a daily, hourly struggle for ex?
istence A contest in which there can be but one victor
-Death!
Does it not appal the strongest mind, to thin? '. th*
result caused by neglect? Thou why delay V .' 1 stex
